摘要

This thesis is a comparative discussion of conceptual metaphors of “SHEN” and “QIAN”, carried out within the framework of conceptual metaphor from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are adopted in this research. The metaphorical extensions of Chinese “SHEN”/“QIAN” and DEEP/SHALLOW concepts in English have been compared quantitatively. The statistic results show in each projected domain, which further indicates the similarities of peoples’ modes of thinking in different cultures.
